| Reverse description | The reverse field bears the inscription PISA arranged in two lines across the central field, serving as the toponym identifying the issuing commune. The surrounding legend reads FREDERICVS, referencing Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa, whose name guaranteed the authority of the coinage. The lettering is executed in crude medieval Latin majuscules typical of 12th-century Italian communal issues. The flan is irregular in shape, a characteristic feature of hand-hammered billon denari of this period. |
